An image of JD Vance allegedly dressed as a woman and wearing a blonde wig was posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday. The unconfirmed image quickly picked up steam and began trending under the hashtag #SofaLoren, a reference to the iconic Italian actress Sophia Loren and false claims that the Republican senator had sex with a couch.
…
Many commenters online connected Vance’s alleged history of cross-dressing with his legislative history—which has long been a point of concern for LGBTQ+ advocacy groups.
The Ohio senator introduced the “Protect Children’s Innocence Act,” which aims to criminalize medical institutions that provide gender-affirming care to minors.
The Republican vice presidential pick also supports measures to limit classroom discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity, and labeled critics of so-called “don’t say gay” legislation “groomers.”
spokesperson for the Republican vice presidential pick did not deny
the only thing they can do is ignore it and pretend it doesn’t exist. saying “no, that’s not vance” will just fan the flames, and saying “yes, that’s vance” leads to the inevitable “if a main portion of your platform is condemning drag queens, then why is a drag queen your pick for VP”
so they don’t say anything, and hope it goes away on its own, which, if couchfucker memes are any indication, it fucking won’t
I’m just waiting for them to Voltron and we get a drag, couch fucking JD Vance.
You mean drag, dolphin-couch-threeway enthusiast JD Vance
They can safely ignore it because they know their base only consumes Republican Approved Messaging™ in the form of right wing media propaganda outlets like Fox and Newsmax. So if it isn’t there it doesn’t exist to them.

Donald would just deny it. I don’t understand anything about dimwits voting for Donald tho. Is it only Donald because they joined a personality cult that enabled their racism? Or is it a cult of racism and they’ll allow anyone to get away with the things Donald does as long as it assists their bigotry?
Hey I recognize her! That’s Anita Cushion
Better watch out, if his boss sees this he might get the sudden urge to motorboat him.

It’s a nice skirt. I love the colors. Perfect for fall. 🍁🍂
If he had shaved he’d look pretty good tbh.
Everyone talking about hypocrisy, etc.
To them, it’s not hypocrisy. He’s staying on brand bc he is making fun of people. He is using it as a costume/to mock people. He wears it and thinks the joke is that it would be stupid to actually feel/believe that it is okay.
The anti-“woke” crowd won’t be disillusioned from this. They read between the lines then they’ll gaslight people.
Probably yeah, but wouldn’t it be hilarious if every drag performer, every cross dressing enthusiast, and every transgender internet personality would now come out in defence for JD like he’s Britney Spears after the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards?
So was this before or after his relationship with the couch?
This was minutes before.
Turns out JD was the bottom though.
Is he revealing his alter ego, Anita Cushion?
While I understand we want to point out and ridicule hypocrisy, let’s not make this a thing please? Trans folks in this country get enough shit without Democrats piling on too.
It’s more in the lines of “man outraged by people challenging gender norms cross dresses for fun; is hypocrite”.
It’s not the outfit we take issue with here. It’s the hypocrisy.

The issue isn’t his hypocrisy, it’s “see? You clearly know this is fine. You all know this drag obsession is bullshit.”
Yeah, that is the hypocrisy that is being pointed out.

You are stating the literal hypocrisy and saying it isn’t hypocrisy. I have no idea what nuance you are saying is there.
Pointing out hypocrisy is actually fairly effective with uninformed people. If they have only a passing interest in JD couch molester, but are made aware of his anti-trans/drag legislation at the same time they find out he was cool doing it himself, they will be likely to not believe his bullshit in the future. No, it won’t swing his base who are already on the cognitive dissonance express, but it might help motivate someone on the fence to get out and vote against him.

The issue is this: hypocrisy is a very surface level complaint.
The ‘rules for thee but not for me’ kind of hypocrisy is extremely important.
Make your print more effectively if you want us to understand.

But hypocrisy is the point. No one’s mocking him just for wearing drag, just like no one criticizes gop voters solely for getting abortions. The criticism stems from the hypocrisy, not the act itself.
Drag and trans are different things.
Yeah it’s a mood when somebody trying to cape for you misunderstands who you are.
Oh hi. I’m actually trans. I’ve already been beat over the head by conservative relatives with “see even democrats think trans folks are stupid”. Which is why I posted the original comment.
The way I see it, it needs to be made a thing. It’s okay to be trans, it’s okay to dress in drag, it’s not okay to do it while you’re a homo/transphobe. That’s very much like the LGBTQ+ equivalent of cultural appropriation.
Plus I’m tired of the hypocrisy. If they’re okay with us having to endure being called slurs, he deserves to go through the same. We will stop if and once they say “please stop, it’s okay to be gay”.
My man, you’re missing the point. The ridicule has been well earned and undermines their bullshit views. More importantly, it undermines their bullshit policies, since Harris is going to wreck shit. I ain’t downvote you, btw.
This isn’t making fun of individuals who identify as trans or appreciate drag/drag culture.
This is specifically making fun of an idiot conservative who is the embodiment of what his party hates. Just like I wouldn’t make fun of someone for being gay, I’m still going to make fun of a politician who enjoys trying to have sex with random men in airport bathrooms.

What do you think hypocrisy is, if not this? Because this is the textbook definition of hypocrisy.
deleted by creator
I don’t think anyone is really clear what you’re saying, even though we seem to be on the same side. You seem to be suggesting that the hypocrisy isn’t the real problem, it’s that he once did this thing and now claims that it’s wrong for others to do it. And that’s literally the textbook definition of hypocrisy: the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behavior does not conform.
JD Vance claims dressing in drag is morally wrong yet he himself has dressed in drag in the past. That makes him a hypocrite. That’s the hypocrisy that people are pointing out. I don’t know what counter-argument you’re trying to put forward.
deleted by creator
So is you point that pointing out hypocrisy isn’t enough?
I would disagree in part, but that would make way more sense if that’s what you’ve been trying to say.

What does TD Vance, well known couch fucker wearing drag have to do with trans people?

Blonde is not his type, like really.
Eye makeup on point.
